quality. The kit includes a GRP cowl as standard. Please check first that the covering
film is stuck down all round, and run a film iron along the seams if you are not sure.
This applies in particular to hinge slots and film overlaps. We recommend that you
apply clear adhesive tape over the faces into which the control surface hinges are to
be fitted, because moisture tends to creep under the film at such areas, causing it to
lift.

Assembling the North American Harvard AT-6
Please don’t start assembling the model until you have checked the kit components
and the building instructions, and are familiar with the construction procedure. If you
are not happy with any component, kindly return it to your model shop without delay.
Remove the covering film from the joint areas of the fuselage and tailplane. Fit the
tailplane and fin in the slots in the fuselage, and set them exactly central and ‘square’
to the fuselage centreline. Mark a line on the top and bottom of the tailplane by
running a felt-tip pen along the edge of the fuselage. Repeat the process on both
sides of the fin.
Remove the tailplane and fin, and run the tip of a hot soldering iron along the edge of
a steel ruler, positioned just inside the marked lines. Peel away the unwanted film
from the fin and tailplane.
